Using the Sky package builder (that's a trick ntl would be well advised to use) I can get most of the same channels I get from ntl at present (I'm on the Family pack) plus their Sky+ PVR service for the same or less than the ntl package. If I add one of the premium packages the cost is only marginally higher...but the inclusion of the PVR service makes it much more valuable. The real choice to shift to HD (when the prices come down a little) is also a real and tangible bonus. I'm not interested in VOD or Email on the TV, etc....  |
Well I had cable TV, before I switched to Sky and then Sky+. There are problems with Sky, like loosing signal, during extreamly bad weather, which is rare (at the present time, once maube twice a year for 5 mins) I would not switch back to NTL, as I find Sky very good, very good interactive TV service, I also do not use e-mail on the TV.
Sky+ is excellent, and I have only had missed programs, about a month after we had it installed, which I know believe was down to not understanding the system and manual recordings, which caused the system to wipe some programs it had recorded whilst I was away for 10 days.
I would recommend it and would not switch back, as the ability to record 2 programs and watch another previously recorded program is really helpful.
I have NTL as my phone and broadband supplier, so there is no need to go back to BT, unless you want to!
Hope this helps.
